Sophia was born with a rare heart defect, and her parents had to drive 17 hours from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to UCLA Health for life-saving open-heart surgery performed by Dr. Gary M. Satou and Dr. Peyman Benharash when she was just five months old. Thanks to their efforts, she made a full recovery and now thrives as a big sister.
To celebrate her journey, Sophia took center court at Crypto.com Arena, dancing alongside the Laker Girls during a Lakers vs. Pacers game on February 8, 2025.

Sophia took center court alongside the Laker Girls in her own Lakers dance outfit, sharing her incredible journey of perseverance and strength.
When Sophia was born, she struggled to breathe and was rapidly losing weight. Her doctors in New Mexico diagnosed her with a rare heart defect, leaving her parents with limited local options. Determined to find the best care, Sophia's mothers got in contact with Dr. Gary M. Satou, MD, at UCLA Health, who was ready to see them immediately. They quickly learned flying at high altitudes would be fatal to their newborn, so they drove 17 hours from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to UCLA Health.
Dr. Gary M. Satou, MD, informed Sophia's parents that she needed open heart surgery at five months old and performed a successful 10-and-a-half-hour procedure with Dr. Peyman Benharash, MD, FACS–giving Sophia a second chance at life. After spending 12 days in the hospital, she was discharged and strong enough to go home.
